Open Letter to Governor Sara Palin,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for standing in the gap between the conservative movement and the Republican Party. I, like millions of others, am a conservative first since the Republican Party moved away from the principles of conservatism and tried to moderate the message of hard work and self reliance, smaller government, personal responsibility, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and securing the country from all threats foreign and domestic.

You fought the good fight, defending even ideas that appeared to have been voiced through bitten lips and clenched teeth in order to honor the man who brought you to his side. You did it with integrity, a smile, enthusiasm and optimism that brought MILLIONS of people to the polls and pull the lever for the Republican ticket.

This contest was lost several years before you ran for Governor when the Republican Party turned from listening to the conservative wing of the Party and tried to move to the middle. When I was asked to contribute to the RNC by Tom Reynolds, I politely declined sending instead a short note declaring I would no longer support the RNC until it pursued actually building the border fence, cutting government spending and defeating attempts to expand the role of government in people’s lives. I have not contributed to the RNC since. I am not alone.

I would have pulled the McCain - (fill in the blank) lever no matter the running mate because I knew Barack Obama and more importantly knew from my college days, the Students for a Democratic Society and their terrorist wing the Weather Underground. That was all I needed to know about the President-elect. As a parent, we all know you become like those you associate with and so the radical past is now ensconced in the present. This was the first election where I actually voted for the lesser of two evils and not for someone I believed in.

But then came you. Your selection ignited the quiet masses of conservatives in the country and for the first time since 2000, we were excited, motivated and hungry for victory. We knew you were not running for President, but to the optimistic of us, you would have been our voice in the White House. You were our voice in the campaign, on television and on the internet. I never had the opportunity to see you while campaigning, but would have gladly stood in line like thousands did all over the country. Without you, Governor Palin, John McCain would have lost in the worst landslide since George McGovern. Without you, disaster was in the bag for the Republican Party. Without you, the national Republicans would have had to hang their heads in shame for the loss it would have been. Because of you there still is hope among the majority of traditional conservatives that sometime in the future, Governor Sara Palin will run for higher office on her own, carrying her own message, our message, and defeating radicalism in every corner of this country and abroad.

You have withstood the onslaught of the mainstream media, the Party elites, and the back benchers of the Republican Party with humility and integrity. We all admire your grit, determination and character. Character matters, it always has. You were and are a class act, not one easily followed. Jimmy Carter gave us Ronald Reagan, and I believe, Barack Obama and the moderates in our Party, will give us you in 2012.

Whether you run or not, your mark has been made on us and we will not forget, we will not be silent, and we will not sit in the back of our Party bus waiting to be dropped off in the next moderate/liberal wilderness called the Minority.

Today, the war begins anew against the tyranny of the left, wherever it resides.

Lastly, should I ever get the opportunity to visit the small State of Alaska in the future, I trust and believe the door to your office will be open so my family and I can shake your hand.

God bless you and your family and an admiring movement of millions thanks you.

Sincerely,

Bill Elsasser

9. that's a bit stalker imo, and i bet he does indeed plan a trip to Alaska so Palin

lock the doors and load the shot gun.

[Gregorian]

10. "Quiet masses". Is that anything like the group that stormed the recount room?

They were massive, but they weren't quiet.

The sad part is, you know she'll never read it.


I often wonder just what kind of person feels the need to got over "there". You deserve an award.

[YOY]

11. PS: Can I have a pair of your panties so I can sniff...I mean buy my "wife" the same pair.

He went to college? Learned all about the "Weather Underground" and "Students for a Democratic" there?

"should I ever get the opportunity to visit the small State of Alaska in the future".

They really need the re-education camps cause they didn't learn shit from K-12.

[RJ Connors]

14. Yep, they got it right. And to show they really mean business

They should break away from the Republican party and form their own party and run Sarah in 2012. Then they will really be able to take the country by storm. Particularly since all the intellectuals in the party think like they do.

:sarcasm:

:nopity:

[charlie]

20. PS... You've got a great ass

Yeah, that's a sexist wisecrack. It's also true that Sarah Mania would've died a-borning if she looked like Babs Bush.

Name a freeper heroine who isn't also fuel for their pud-pulling fantasies. There aren't any.

<<I, like millions of others, am a conservative first since the Republican Party moved away from the principles of conservatism and tried to moderate the message of hard work and self reliance, smaller government, personal responsibility, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and securing the country from all threats foreign and domestic.

I find it fascinating that this writer (and believe me, he's not alone) thinks that the problem is that the party wasn't conservative enough. To me, this is more evidence that they are either a) going to split outright or b) end up with a party-within-the-party (like the DLC).
